Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0
Build ID: 20100101

Steps to reproduce:

Chrome already removed support for secp521r1 curve, Firefox should do the same.
Telemetry also shows that it is used in <0.000002% handshakes, which is a small enough to warrant removal.

Bug 1129077 is about making changes to PSM, which is part of Gecko, which is the platform Firefox runs on:
